The House State Government committee held a work session today focused on how to improve agency efficiency. Rep. Sam Hunt, Chair of the committee, opened the meeting by asking, "What do we do to make government more efficient?" One of the solutions provided by the Governor's Office is for agencies to spend more time on their core missions versus "back office" activities. Here is the info from one of the Governor's handouts. Also discussed was the joint effort between the State Auditor and the Governor to review ways to improve agency efficiency. Here are additional details on the State Auditor's effort and the Governor's reform goals.
